A structured barrel?
Good jeans if you want a barrel shape without being overwhelmed by fabric.

Cute but nothing special
This is a good sweater, bright colors, good weight and kept me warm. I never have a problem with sleeves but these were short - hit me above the wrist as if they were shrunk.

Oversize fit, lighter weight
Nice coat with a fun pattern, but the top button hits at mid chest, so don't expect this to keep you warm on colder or windy days!

Fun - but size down!
RTR recommended a Medium but after reading other reviews, I got a Small. So glad - the sleeve length extends over my fingers and the length of the sweater is almost to my thighs. I'm 5' 8" and it's a fit I'd expect from a size Large. This is a cute design but think it would be challenging for anyone with a petite frame.

This is not red!!
This is a nice sweater, a bit heavier (reminds me of a homemade knit) and can be dressed up or down. But the color is orange, not red!

Believe the sizing recommendation
I'm smaller on the top and assumed a medium would fit (although RTR recommended L.). The medium is too tight across the shoulders and way too tight in the arms to fit. It's a great color and good length but not going to be able to wear it.

Just ok - lots of dress!!
Not sure if it was the extra long straps or the skirt, but this was a LOT of bright material for one dress. Didn't wear it.

Great dress
Great date night dress. Side zip was challenging and would think it would be tight on larger chests. Longer length added some interest. Could be dressed up or down.

Way too revealing!
Couldn't wear this one out of the house - the photos neglect to show that there isn't any fabric on the sides of this dress! I would have needed a ton of fashion tape to keep things in place.

Get your steamer ready!
Loved the fit - I'm a 36B and the size 8 fit just right around my chest. Only challenge was the wrinkles in the top, especially the bow. Lots of wrinkles from shipping - needed a lot of steaming to look fresh!

Fabulous jumpsuit
This jumpsuit was perfect for a NYE party. The asymmetrical neckline and flare pants added a modern twist. Heavier material that elevated the look and minimized wrinkles.

Thick and bulky - and not in a good way
Never wore it. No one mentioned how thick the fabric is - made me look like a lineman. Add in the shorter length..so disappointed - colors were great but fit was terrible.

Nice light sweater to pull on but nothing outstanding. Stars are appliques so that helps it look a bit nicer than other crew neck sweaters.

Strange fit
The body of the medium is huge and when you lay it on a flat surface, you see that the bottom is tapered. The openings fit me strangely - perhaps because I have broader shoulders? Such a disappointment. I wanted something original didn't even wear it.

Short, short SHORT
As others have said, the sleeves are comically large in the upper arm and tight, tight, tight in the forearms. But I must have missed that this is basically a cropped (although tight) sweater. So sad. I think it cheapens the look.

Bizarre fit
Description doesn't mention the drawstring that ended up under my bust but not low enough to be at my waist. Tried to use it to make the top more fitted, but it only added volume to the top and added a weird shape to the skirt. Felt and looked frumpy. Hard pass.

Great looking and fitting dress. Material was supple, and the the drawstring waist helped add shape. Felt great and got lots of compliments at a work event.

Boxy fit
I waited for this shirt to become available and was so disappointed. Read the other reviews and agree with them - the neckline gathers in a strange way, overall fit is boxy and material was stiff.

Nothing special - strange ruching on the lower third of the shirt
This was nothing special. Super long sleeves and body. Plus there was ruching/gathers over the stomach that no one else mentioned in their reviews.

Shorter than in the pictures on me - awkward length (even with highest pants) so this was a wasted rental.

There wasn't an event...why is this a required question?
The shirt was longer than expected, which meant the ties were tied below my waist. I pulled it up to my natural waist, but made for a lot of material over my stomach!

Frills and volume
The dress was fine, nothing outstanding. Although it was made from a cotton blend, multiple washings had made the dress rather limp. Lots of ruffles (more than I realized from the picture,) especially the ones over the shoulder and down the bodice might be challenging for larger-breasted women. Just seemed like a LOT of volume.

So much potential
Heavy fabric, well tailored the sleeves were eye-catching. But the gold button had a black mark/scratch across it. Totally distracted from the richness of this piece.

Wore it to work over black pants
I usually wear an 8 top, but ordered a 10 based on other reviews about the tight arms. It was a little large in the body but not that much. The fabric was heavy so the top hung really nicely. A plain white T look so much more. And yes, you might have to iron it, but not a deal killer. I'd buy it.

Always up for a wrap dress, very professional
Nice dress, heavy fabric. Would be great to wear in the Fall. Challenge for me is a small bust in comparison to my hips...wrap dresses can be tricky so while this one technically "fit," there was extra room in the top!
